Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged up to $50 million for infrastructure work for Montreal’s future Grand Parc de l’Ouest on Wednesday, hailing the project as part of a strategy to help ”Canadians adapt to the effects of the climate crisis, while building stronger, more resilient communities.”
“This is an example of concrete leadership on climate change while protecting biodiversity and supporting communities that are facing more and more extreme weather events,” Trudeau said at a joint press conference at Montreal City Hall with Mayor Valérie Plante.
A beaming Plante thanked the prime minister for the commitment to the 3,000-hectare green space, which will be Canada’s largest urban park.
